The Blue Jeans toslink, which is Mitsubishi ESKA, is just like all the other low cost mono-filament toslink cables. It's basically a single plastic element that transfers the light. These plastic mono-filament will sound dull and low-resolution compared to the better glass fiber cables.

The Lifatec is the best bundled glass fiber cable for the money. If you're on a budget, buy the Lifatec. It performs much better than Blue Jean or the other mono-filament.

Other alternatives are the Wire World Supernova 7. Or, if you want to get really expensive, the Audioquest Diamond. They are all just bundled glass/silica fibers, so I don't expect much difference between them. Lifatec will cut and terminate each cable to your order (you can order custom lengths). Wire World is a manufactured cable that comes in set lengths.
